If Uncanny makes it through all the stretch goals there will be a Things Respond to Fiction comic for EVERY EPISODE. We are so excited about this on so many levels. We are so honored to be part of the Kickstarter. Less than 10K to go at 16 days, not an easy goal, but most definitely doable. Join the Space Unicorn Corps! Go check out the Kickstarter!

Things Webcomic #14, back when I was learning how to do everything… so some things don’t change in 13 years, still needing to learn everything!

Spoonflower is a pod fabric and wrapping paper service that I’ve been wanting to try out. I’m going to design somewhere between 2 and 6 fabric squares as my first test run for plushies and other neat things on fabric (I kinda want a repeating crinoline of all the characters in tutus).

Here is my first attempt.
What do you reckon? Anything else you want to see?

You guys! You guys! The Spoonflower package arrived ages ago and I was too scared to open it, but Spoonflower told me on Monday from 9 AM EST ’til Tuesday at 9 AM EST, free standard shipping on all orders to ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, so I had to open it.

It is soooo pretty! The photos do no do it justice. The colours came out really well, the printing is crisp… Now I just have to find a friend with a sewing machine! Boot is a great pillow!

Thanks to the kind poking of folks our most popular comic “a sad” is now available on Redbubble!

Who wouldn’t want a Things cushion??

I’m going to keep tweaking the store (asking the png files why they are doing transparencies so strangely), making it prettier and so on. Please let me know if you want other comics added, unlike Spoonflower I can put stuff up without proofing it! I love Spoonflower, but it costs me $10 a pop (plus postage and handling) to proof a full linen square.

I just discovered a tagging bug that meant that about 10 comics throughout the history of the Things were not displaying if you clicked next next next… so if you are a completionist there will be new surprises for you if you want to click through from the beginning!

The bug has been identified and corrected. I’ll be regularly checking to make sure comics don’t fall through the cracks… or in this case have their old tagging deleted while workin on something else.

I’m working on the comic for Issue 10 right now! The cover is a gorgeous one by Galen Dara, click through to check it out in all its beauty (you can even buy a copy of the poster at Uncanny’s zazzle store!)

The “A Sad ” section of the Redbubble store has been updated and we’re looking at what other thingies we should put up there. Please let us know what you would like to see.

We’re also going to experiment with printing extra stuff ourselves. The first step in this experiment will be MAGNETS! I will have them with me at the participants signing at SFWA’s Nebula Awards Conference. They will be $2 each and we curious to see how they go.
